In the combat conference room of the command post on the south bank of the Sancha River, the wall fire was crackling,

But Pedi didn't feel the slightest temperature, he felt as if he was in the northern wind and snow, a biting chill was attacking him, and then, cold sweat covered his whole body in an instant, and the leather boots on his feet seemed to be filled with water at this moment.

"Is your message accurate?" Pedi's voice trembled slightly.

"I can guarantee it. Don Wright said affirmatively.

Pedi asked, "What about time, when the orcs are ready to cast their magic?"

"It's their secret, and there won't be more than ten orcs who know the specifics of this plan. Don Wright said in a stern tone, "Their secrecy is better than that of the Imperial War Department. ”

"Wait," Sir Glick heard the other meaning of Don Wright's words, and his beast-like eyes stared at Don Wright like prey, and asked, "Your Excellency, Don Wright, can I understand that this so-called information of yours is entirely your or your guess. ”

"Sir, if you want to prove the truth of this information, you might as well let Crewe lead tens of thousands of troops to help you witness it. Don Wright coldly retorted: "But I want to remind you that your ignorance may cost tens of thousands of lives in vain. ”

"You..."

"Alright. Pedi stopped the two from arguing, and he removed the soundproofing magic, and said to Eden, who was near the door, "Prepare me, I'll be on the front in half an hour to meet Sir Bowenlet." ”

"Now?" Eden was stunned.

"Yes, now. ”

"Sir!" said Sir Gorrick, who had been shown to be as stupid as an idiot when one was prejudiced against another.

Therefore, Pedy did not want to listen to Sir Glick any more, and he said in a commanding tone: "Let the men of the command prepare to evacuate urgently when we return... Also, remember to keep it a secret. ”

...

Two hours later,

Pedi and his personal guards arrived at the headquarters of the 10th Legion.

Sir Bowenright and Pedi had a brief conversation, and after half an hour several orders were issued to the various corps in the name of the Supreme Commander of Pedy.

First of all, the Ninth Army Corps was temporarily organized into the 15th Corps, and received an order that at 3 o'clock in the morning, the troops would advance on the three lines of defense of the insurgents in the eastern, western, and central directions, and that within half an hour they would clear their outlying strongholds and then storm their main defensive lines.

The commander of the Provisional 15th Corps, Knight Perridge, did not hesitate too much to assemble his troops after receiving an order signed by Pedi and Sir Geerberck, the provisional commander of the 9th Corps.

The second order was sent to the 12th Corps of the 10th Legion of the two corps stationed in the eastern part of the line of defense against the 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs, and they received almost the same order as the 15th Provisional Regiment, except that the target of the attack became the 15th Banner Regiment of the Orcs.

The remaining four corps received orders that were simpler ... Gather troops to move south, detour into the eastern part of the Garmici steppe and flank the Orc Middle Barracks area.

When the commanders of the four corps received this order, they were obviously puzzled, but the word 'top secret' marked on the top of the order made them dare not easily inform others of this order, because some time ago, the officers handled by the Military Intelligence Department made the four corps commanders deeply understand the specific meaning of 'top secret'.

At the same time, Pei Di also ordered the provisional Eighth Combined Legion to advance rapidly in the direction of Bien City, looking for the main forces of the 10th and 15th Banner Regiments of the Orcs for a decisive battle.

At a quarter past two, Pedi left the front camp under the escort of his personal guards

At three o'clock, the silent night was pierced through the void by a sudden burst of shouts of killing.

At the same time, the remaining four corps of the Ninth and Twelfth Corps, which had secretly completed the assembly, quickly moved in the direction of Hallensburg under the cover of the attack of the provisional Fifteenth Corps and the Twelfth Corps.

The human rebels were unprepared for a night attack, and their outlying strongholds had all fallen in just ten minutes, and if it weren't for the strong rear defense line they had built, the frontal defense might have collapsed in this round of attack.

The 10th Banner Regiment of the Orcs was also unexpectedly surprised by the night attack of the Imperial Army, but their military quality was much higher than that of the rebel legions, but for some reason, the Orc Army voluntarily abandoned all their outer defenses and retreated to the last main front.

...

At half past three in the middle of the night,

In the orc army hall next to Lake Garmic.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent opened, and an orc dressed as a scout was quickly reporting on the battle taking place on the front line.

Morinda Old Overseer lay in a chair with his eyes closed as if he were asleep, but his gently flickering fingers and occasional wiggling of his ears showed that he was listening.

A few minutes later,

The orc scout finished reporting and quickly departed with a wave of the Morinda Overseer.

Soon, there was a silent silence in the empty tent, and the old Overseer lay quietly in his chair, as if he had not paid any attention to what the scout had just reported.

After nearly ten minutes of silence, the old Overseer opened his eyes and said to an old orc in gray robes standing close to him to the left of the wooden table where the map was placed, "Chief Priest of Sibo, how are your men ready?"

"Don't worry, my brother, the required construction circle was sketched three days ago, and if you need it, the spell can be completed and activated in less than an hour. As he spoke, the chief priest of Sibo used the long nails on the fingers of his right hand to move the markers of the Imperial army on the Three Forks River on the map.

"Then let's do it tonight, I'm afraid that the news will leak out after too long... The defeat at the Battle of Covinde is a testament to the fact that the Imperial Army was a one-hit hit in almost every battle, suggesting that someone within us is leaking information. The old Overseer grimaced.

"You're saying we didn't clean it up three years ago?" All Sibo could think of were some small tribe of the Orc Northern Clans that had been bought by the Empire.

"No," Morinda waved his hand slightly, "those people are just a bunch of poor creatures, a bunch of substitutes forced by life, but they are smart people, so they don't choose to betray their tribe at such times." ”

"So, who could it be?"

"Goblins, or those paladins. ”

"It can't be goblins, their losses in Covinde are not small. Sibo's eyes flashed, "Then, only those paladins are left... It must be them, these damn guys, trying to curry favor with both sides. ”

"Obviously, they are not hiding their purpose, because they know that we still need them. The killing intent in Morinda's eyes flashed, "So, for the time being, it's as if nothing happened." ”

"That..."

"It's time to present our guests. ”

"But a wing of the 10th Banner Regiment has not yet had time to withdraw..."

"Winning the whole campaign with one wing is worth it in that respect. ”
